“Sunfruits have musical roots in the 60s and 70s, all rollnecks and boots and flares, but while you just want to dance – baby, yeah! – there’s an up-to-the-minute edge that pulls you right to the present. Irresistable groove, absolutely bloody soaring songs, and questions about the world right now we should all be asking […]
“Classic stride with purpose and mission, tightly controlled and impeccably tailored. There’s no resistance when any of these songs hit flesh, every edge is so crisp and sharp it cuts open the soft tissue without you even realising you’re bleeding all over the carpet.” Gallery Learn More Instagram

“In time for Mother’s Day, Imogen Clark’s rich and soaring tribute to her mum steers clear of Hallmark mawkishness, landing the emotion without drowning the rock-solid songwriting in schmaltz. Settle in and raise a glass to the mums, wherever they may be 🥂”
